Frequently asked in Fort Wayne

What is the best flooring for the money in Fort Wayne?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1 3 rule' generally suggests leaving approximately 1/32 of an inch of expansion gap per linear foot of flooring. This is critical for wood and laminate materials to accommodate natural expansion and contraction due to humidity and temperature changes, which are common in Indiana. Proper gapping prevents buckling and ensures the longevity of your floors. The installation pros will ensure this standard is met.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank (LVP) is an excellent choice for its superior water resistance, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements in Fort Wayne homes. Laminate is often more budget-friendly and offers a wide variety of realistic wood looks. Both are durable and practical options for busy households. A call to discuss your home's specific needs will help determine the best fit.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Wide-plank engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) are currently very popular. Homeowners appreciate the natural wood aesthetics, durability, and ease of maintenance these materials offer. Light to medium wood tones and matte finishes are trending. The pros can show you the latest styles and discuss how they would look in your Fort Wayne home.
